Oman's SalamAir has announced the launch of its new flights between Muscat and Abha in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia starting December 16, with ticket sales beginning today, November 6, at fares starting from 29.99 Omani rials.
Abha is one of the Kingdom's most prominent tourist destinations, famous for its mild mountain climate, nature and cultural heritage. It is also known as the "City of Fog" and the summer capital of the Kingdom, according to a press release published on the SalamAir website.
The launch of the Muscat-Abha route follows the growth SalamAir achieved in 2025, and comes with the arrival of the 15th aircraft in its fleet, an Airbus A321neo named "Bar Al Hikman". Abha thus becomes SalamAir's fifth destination in Saudi Arabia, joining its current destinations of Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah and Dammam, strengthening the company's presence in this vital regional market.
For his part, Stephen Allen, Chief Commercial Officer at SalamAir, said the launch of "our direct flights to the city of Abha" is a step that strengthens "our growing presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia", with Abha becoming "our fifth destination in the Kingdom."
In addition to the four direct flights between Muscat and Abha, the new destination will offer travelers seamless connections with SalamAir's growing network across the Indian subcontinent, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Salalah, providing convenient travel options with just one stop to reach these destinations.
